Diagnostic pathways for neurodevelopmental disorders

The request was partially successful.

Dear NHS Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group,

Could you provide details of whether a specific diagnostic pathway for children exists within your CCG for each of the following conditions:
1) Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
2) Autism Spectrum Disorder
3) Developmental Coordination Disorder/Developmental Dyspraxia
4) Developmental Dyscalculia
5) Developmental Dyslexia
6) Specific language impairment/Developmental language disorder

If a diagnostic pathway exists could you provide further details of that pathway?

For each of the above conditions, if a diagnostic pathway exists, could you provide the following details for the last 5 years, broken down by year:
1) The number of children who were referred and the number who were diagnosed
2) The average (both mean and median if available, if not please specify which), minimum, and maximum wait time between referral and diagnosis

If you don't hold any of the above information could you direct me towards the body that would?

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Brady
